(Testimony of Ralph Paul)
Mr. Paul.
Alice Nichols--yes, I think they were going around together for about 10 or 11 years. I used to go out with them too.
Mr. Hubert.
What was his relationship to the girls who used to work in his place, was it strictly a business relationship?
Mr. Paul.
With the girls--strictly business. He would like to make a girl that would come up there, but not the girls that was working for him.
Mr. Hubert.
You mean he wouldn't try to date the strippers or waitresses?
Mr. Paul.
No---we used to take them out for coffee after they got through, but that's all.
Mr. Hubert.
I would like to show you a picture, or rather several pictures which have already been identified, and I'm not going to give them a new identification number. I'm going to show you a group of five pictures, exact copies of which have already been identified in connection with the deposition of Andrew Armstrong, as Exhibits 5300 A through F and ask you if it is not so that Jack Ruby appears in each one of those pictures?
Mr. Paul.
Right.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, there are two girls in there?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
One has blonde hair and is wearing dark clothes and the other is--has darker hair and is wearing a striped dress.
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Could you tell us who they are, referring first to the one with the blonde hair with the black dress?
Mr. Paul.
Yes, that's Kathy Kay.
Mr. Hubert.
Who is the other one?
Mr. Paul.
This is Alice somebody--I don't know the second name anyway.
Mr. Hubert.
Alice Anderson?
Mr. Paul.
Yes--I never knew her second name. She worked there.
Mr. Hubert.
When did she work there?
Mr. Paul.
Alice was a waitress or a champagne girl, what you call them, and she was the strip.
Mr. Hubert.
Yes, Kathy Kay was a strip?
Mr. Paul.
Kathy Kay was a strip.
Mr. Hubert.
How long had the girl that you identify as Alice, to wit, the girl in those pictures with the striped dress, how long had she been working at the club?
Mr. Paul.
Well, from the time he made a burlesque out of it, she used to work a couple of weeks, a couple of months, then quit and come back and work another couple of months or couple of weeks and then quit. She was never a steady girl.
Mr. Hubert.
Is she married?
Mr. Paul.
I don't think so.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he date her?
Mr. Paul.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, are you positive or is it that you just don't know?
Mr. Paul.
That I know of.
Mr. Hubert.
But I take it from the way you answered the question that you knew him so well that you probably would have known it if he had?
Mr. Paul.
Yes---if he did I would have known.
Mr. Hubert.
He would tell you that?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
He told you about his affairs with women, is that right?
Mr. Paul.
No; not always---he told me about affairs he wanted to tell me about, let's put it that way.
Mr. Hubert.
Were there lots of them?
Mr. Paul.
Well, there were quite a few.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know of a girl by the name of Joyce McDonald?
Mr. Paul.
Joyce?
Mr. Hubert.
I think her stage name was Joy Dale?
Mr. Paul.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recognize her in the photo I am now showing you?
Mr. Paul.
Oh, I recognize her.
Mr. Hubert.
This photograph has been identified in connection with the deposition
